Ear muffs for musicians

I have measured SPLs at our bands practice between 90-100dB(A) - in such level hearing protection is a must. I started of with Etyomotic plugs, but discovered that the treble was too harsh and after a few weeks of using them started to have ringing in the ears.I then moved to various foam plugs but none of them felt comfortable during a 2-hour band practice. The next step was using a pair of regular ear muffs which were much more comfortable than any of the plugs but which distorted the sounds too much.

After the search for the ultimate ear muff I found the Howard Leighting clarity C1 Muff. This muff is optimized for a equal attenuation throughout the frequency range. I definitely recommend this for band practice situations.
